JR Stewart et al.: "Palaeoecological and genetic evidence for Neanderthal power locomotion as an adaptation to a woodland environment", doi 10.1016/j.quascirev.2018.12.023. [h/t hbdchick.] "Power locomotion" is like tigers. Ambush-predation. Apparently this hunting-technique is good for forests, like Europe throughout the Pleistocene before the LGM.
That explains why the Neanders didn't get around to domesticating the dog.
UPDATE 8/11/21: West Africans, too.
